Element Description
Enable Secret Password The enable secret password for entering privileged EXEC mode on the
router. This option offers better security than the Enable Password
option.
The enable secret password can contain between 1-25 alphanumeric
characters. The first character must be a letter. Spaces are allowed, but
leading spaces are ignored. Question marks are also allowed.
Note You can discover an encrypted password, but any password you
enter must be in clear text. If you modify an encrypted
password, it is saved as clear text.
Note After you set an enable secret password, you can switch to an
enable password only if the enable secret is disabled or an older
version of Cisco IOS software is being used, such as when
running an older rxboot image.
Enable Password The enable password for entering privileged EXEC mode on the router.
The enable password can contain between 1-25 alphanumeric
characters. The first character must be a letter. Spaces are allowed, but
leading spaces are ignored. Question marks are also allowed.
Note You must enter the password in clear text.
Enable Password Encryption
Service
When selected, encrypts all passwords on the device, including the
enable password (which is otherwise saved in clear text).
For example, use this option to encrypt username passwords,
authentication key passwords, console and VTY line access passwords,
and BGP neighbor passwords. This command is primarily used for
keeping unauthorized individuals from viewing your passwords in your
configuration file.
When deselected, device passwords are stored unencrypted in the
configuration file.
Note This option does not provide a high level of network security.
You should also take additional network security measures.
